Instructions

Step 1

Melt the Chocolate and Butter

Begin by chopping the *dark chocolate* into small pieces. In a bowl, melt the chocolate together with the *unsalted butter*. You can use a double boiler or microwave it in short intervals, stirring constantly to ensure a smooth mixture.

Step 2

Prepare the Egg Mixture

In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the *large eggs* with the *sugar*, *vanillin*, and a *pinch of salt* until the mixture is light and frothy. This step is important for incorporating air into the batter, which gives the brownies their texture.

Step 3

Combine Ingredients

Pour the melted butter and chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, and stir until well combined. Carefully sift the *all-purpose flour* and *baking powder* into the bowl, folding the ingredients gently until a smooth and homogeneous batter forms.

Step 4

Add Milk Chocolate

Chop the *milk chocolate* into small chunks and fold them into the batter, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture for that delicious melty effect.

Step 5

Bake the Brownies

Preheat your oven to *180°C (350°F)*. Pour the brownie batter into a square baking pan (18cm x 18cm) lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for *15-20 minutes*. The shorter baking time will give you a fudgier brownie, so keep an eye on them to prevent overbaking.

Step 6

Cool and Serve

Once baked, allow the brownies to cool slightly in the pan. For the best experience, serve them warm, possibly with a *scoop of ice cream* on top for added indulgence. Enjoy your delicious creation!

Servings

Once your brownies have cooled slightly, it's time to serve them up! Pair with a **scoop of vanilla ice cream** 🍦 for that classic dessert experience that everyone loves. Drizzle with warm chocolate sauce or caramel for an extra special touch, and perhaps sprinkle some **chopped nuts** for added crunch. These brownies are also fantastic for picnics or gatherings — simply cut them into fun shapes and pack them up. Don't forget to bring extra to share! 🍽️✨

If you're feeling adventurous, top them with some **fresh berries** or even a dollop of whipped cream to elevate the presentation and taste. Brownies are super versatile and can fit various occasions, whether it’s a birthday party or just a cozy night at home. Enjoy your delicious creation!

Faq

    Absolutely! Fold in your favorite add-ins after mixing the wet and dry ingredients for an extra tasty twist.

    Make sure to measure your ingredients accurately and mix your batter until just combined to keep the texture nice and chewy.

  • What's the best way to store leftover brownies?

    Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature. For longer storage, wrap them tightly and freeze for up to 3 months!

  • Can I substitute the chocolate used in the recipe?

    Yes! You can use any type of chocolate you prefer, but remember that darker chocolate will yield richer flavors.
